Arched bridges appeared as early as the year 850.
Their unique shape often becomes a landmark.
However, they are not just aesthetically pleasing.
When an arched bridge bears weight, it achieves balance between vertical and horizontal forces, making it resistant to swaying or collapsing.
The trick to building an arched bridge with magnetic tiles is to first construct the foundations on both sides.
By connecting large and small triangles, you can adjust the angle to create a perfect arch shape.
Finally, cover the bridge surface with square tiles.
Magnetic tiles not only enhance children's logical skills but also provide an introduction to structural mechanics,making them very suitable for young beginners.
